Bridges 2011 Workshop Paper
The Magical Power of Our Eye: A Student Centered Approach to Building Bridges between Mathematics and Art
Gail Kaplan and Chris Bartlett
(Proceedings pages 685–692)
Abstract
This workshop paper provides both the necessary background knowledge
for the facilitator of a workshop and a series of student-centered
activities designed to enable students to explore the relationship
between mathematics and art, in particular, the connection between
the golden ratio and paintings. These links stimulate student
interest in both disciplines as well as improve critical thinking
skills.
